Synopsis Greatest yield response occurred in the month of application while the residual effect in the second month was small. Dividing the N among more frequent applications gave greater uniformity of yield but no increase. Frequency of N applications had no effect on the N content of the forage or the percentage clover. An increase in the N application rate increased the N content of the forage in spite of a reduction in the clover content.
